Object of stan1ey's Expedition.

Henry NJ. Stanley has written IA let
ter from Cairo to tn chairman of the
relief committee in London, in which
he explains the expedition and de-
scribes Emin Pasha as follows: "The
expedition is non military-that is to
say, it's purpose is not to fight, destroy
or waste its purpose is to save, to re-
lieve distress and to carry comfort.
Emin Pasha may he good man, a
brave officer and a gallant fellow, de-
serving of IA strong effort of relief; but
| decline to believe, and have not
been able to gather from any one in
England an impression that his life, or
the lives of the few hundreds under
him, would Overbalance the lives of
thousands of natives, and the devasta-
ton of immense tracts of country
which an expedition strictly military
would naturally cause. The expedi-
ton is mere powerful caravan, arm
ed with rifles for the purpose of insur-
ing safe conduct of the ammunition to
Emin Pasha, and for the more certain
protection of this people during the re-
treat home. But it also has means of
purchasing the friendship of tribes and
chiefs, of buying food and paving its
way literally.
"Regarding Emin Pasha my infor-
nation is various. | am told he was
one of Midiiat Pasha's medical atten-
dants, and was obliged To hy to Con
stantinople on the downfall of that
minister. By a pilgrim ship he reach

The Boys Bedroom.
Gnod Ho,lseEeeninn.

Now instead of turning our boys off
with the coolest, most inconvenient
room in the house aud make a sort of
lumber bedroom of it for him to go
into ONLY when his bed time comes,
and out of it as soon as possible when
his rising time comes, without one be-
loved coy corner, or pretty picture,
to rest his eyes upon while he fingers
about his morning Bible reading, or
about the details of his toilet (which
indeed he cannot finish in his room be-
cause there are, very likely, no con-
veniences), let us institute system
of equality in planning the bedrooms
of our children, making it a point to
always keep the boys room as scru-
pulously clean, rather than barely fur
nished with only the strictest necessa-
ries, and in, to say the least, a state of
questionable order. In these days of
cheap, bright pictures and fabrics,
which latter are also durable, and GER
tainly most mothers may without stint
ing the needs of the household, adOrn
and furnish her boys bedroom if only
it be already supplied with bed and
toilet set. If means to buy the other
articles are lacking, some packing box
es and a few yards of the inexpensive
material above mentioned used to up
holster them, will cost but little except
the time used in getting them into
shape; and the result of a few hOu rs'
labor and the expense of perhaps 81
will be the conversion of the Sahara of
a room into palace in which the boy
will love to linger, feeling a pleasant
sense of possession, and to which he
will bring with pride and delight his
young friends when they visit him, as
he has seen his sister do. Here, at
least, he is safe from the hustling or
ders of any older sister he may chance
to possess, who may have propensi
ty to mOnOpolize, as elder sisters often
do, all the coy hooks in the house
this, at least, is outside their dOmin
ions.

Married to a Negress.

Speaking of the marriage of the
famous missionary Grenfell to negro
woman of the Congo, writer in the
New York Sun says. At Kabinda
Grenfell saw among the mission con-
verts bright young woman who had
received a fair education in the miss
on school of Kabinda. She was a
cOmely girl. She had boen instructed
for years in the arts of hOusewifery by
the mission ladies, dressed in the garb
of her civilized sisters, was neat and
industrious and devOut Christian.
She was, in fact, in her changed
condition, one of the best products of
missionary labor. Grenfell believed
she would make him good helpmeet
in his future arduOus work as a miss
iOnary. In due time they were mar
ried, and from that day to this, Gren
fell's friends say, he has had no reason
to regret the very unusual choice he
made.
1t can be said, on the authority of
Henry NJ. Stanley, that the two babies
who have been born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Grenfell are "beantiful little children"
The home of the Grenfells is on Stan
ley Pool, but until the past year they
have not been there much of the time.

She sat unperturbed and very comfort
able behind the wire screen that ward
ed off the showers of arrows which
were launched at the little steamer
Peace by the hostile natives of the
MObangi river.
A writer, who evidently had not
heard of Mr.. Grenfell's little romance,
recently mentioned as proof of the fact
that white ladies' can retain their health
and vigor on the Congo that the miss
ionary, Grenfell, was accompanied on
his long journeys by his excellent wife.

A Curious Temperance Pledge.

The New York Sun relates the fol-
lowing of the late John Roach:
Mr.. Roach was Il remarkably kind
and liberal minded man toward his
employees. He never discharged one
of them for stealing or for drinking.
1t was his boast that he always reform
ed them.
81 have had just forty thieves with
me, like Ali Baba," he said in speak
ing of this, "during the many years
have been in business, and L fOrgave
them all, and never knew one of them
to slip again"
Some amusing and rather touching
anecdotes are told of his reforming
dissi pated employees. One was that of
a man who was with him up to the
very last, and who was, when the con-
Germ shut down, getting a salary of
$4,000 year. Some years ago this
mans drunkenness was a constant
source of ammo, ance to Mr.. Roach,
who vainly tried by reasoning with
him to reform him. Finally the young
man came himself and asked to be dis
charged, saying he was convinced of
his own wOrthlessness.
"If you go, it will be by no discharge
of mine, Henry" said Mr.. Roach, "but
you may sign this and then resign if
you like"
Mr.. Roach wrote out form of res
ignation which recited that the under
signed had worked for Mr.. Roach for
many years, had always been we'll
treated, and had resigned because he
was a worthless drunken sot."
"COpy that off and sign it, Henry"
he said.
The young man copied it word for
word, and was about to put his name
to it, when Mr.. Roach laid his hand on
Henry's arm and stopped him. TAX
ing the paper from him he put it in an
envelope, which he addressed to him
self John Roach) and duly stamped.
"Carry that with you, Henry" said
Mr.. Roach, 'and the next time you
take drink, take the paper out, sign
it, and send it to me-"
The letter was never sent.

A Sample Millionaire.
Salt Lake Tribune.

A miner in Leadville, Col, who can
neither read nor write, is worth to-day
at least 100000 Four years ago he
hadn't penny, except what he earned
from day to day as miner. His name
is John L. Morrissey. He is young
man, not more than 81 or 80. The
Crown Point mine, like Tom Bowen's
GOleonda, was just about paying ex-
penses. Her owners offered to sell her
for $4,000. MOrrissey went to Chica-
60 and interested Diamond Joe Rey-
mold in the matter, Reynolds knew that
MOrrissey was an authority on mining,
even if he couldn't write his name.
He finally purchased the Crown Point,
agreeing to give Morrissey half in
terest after the original sum was re-
paid. Within 30 days they struck
vein of high class ore that has yielded
them a monthly income of $4,000
apiece ever since. There is said to be
SIS, 900, 900 worth of ore in sight. Nor
rissey cannot even tell the time of day.
1t is stock joke among the boys, if
you ask MOrrissey what o'clock it is,
for him to pull from his fob a $500
watch, and, with cOndescending air,
to tell you to ''luk for yerself, and then
yen know am not lying to yez."

The Indians Not Decreasing.

A contributor to the New York
Times combats a prevalent idea that
the Indian is doomed to disappear like
the buffalo, and that manifest de-
crease in numbers can be noted within
recent years. He shows that by JEFF
ferson's census in 1892 the total emu
merated was only 90 ,O40, while the In
dian commissioners census for the
present year sums up 247 ,76l. He had
no difficulty in establishing the mac
curacy of the census statistics for the
Is years ending 1875, but since that
date they have been better prepared.
A slight variation in numbers is APP
parent during the last 10 years, but no
marked decrease. The record for the
past year is, however, the lowest esti-
mate yet made. On the other hand,
been made of births and deaths among
ment, showing IL steady and consider
able excess of births over deaths. The
Indians in the country may be de-
creasing, but there is no satisfactory
evidence of this. In fact, in spite of
the last census, gain is more probable
than Il loss in numbers during the past
decade.
One of gang of ice-cutters near
Mount Carmel, ILL.,, cut out a block of
ice on three sides and then laid a saw
on it, remarking: "Some fool will go

He proved to be a prophet, for, forget
